Were you able to find out if the ISP modem has a DMZ? If it does, input the IP address the 652 gets from the ISP modem on the WAN side and put that into the ISP Modems DMZ. You might seek local help were you are located to have someone come to your place and help you get this connected and set up for you. Someone with some networking and or router experience.

I came across this forum and i was impressed with the insight you have on Networking. I have a similar problem to this subject and was wondering if you could help me. Thanks

I am trying to connect a Asus RT N66U router to my Thomson TG784 modem with inbuilt wireless function. When i put the modem in bridge mode, i don't get any networking capabilities on the ASUS and the Thomson. I have tried automatic settings on the ASUS web interface and it just can't the detect the network settings. It keeps telling me it is timed out and if i want to try again.Without bridge mode, everything is working for both ASUS and Thomson wireless and Ethernet cables. Which is good (Objective achieved). However, i get into a problem when i am trying to set up a VPN on the ASUS. Issues about double DDNS and other errors come up. Is there some advice or there is something i am doing wrong. I really think a bridge would help. But it doesn't work. Or the in-built wireless of the Thomson is what is preventing a proper bridge? Thanks

If the ISP modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems: Link>Double NAT and How NAT Works. Call the ISP and ask to see if the ISP modem can be bridged. To tell if the modem is bridged or not, look at the routers web page, Status/Device Info/Wan Section, if there is a 192.168.0.# address in the WAN IP address field, then the modem is not bridged. If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ. Also check the routers DHCP IP address maybe conflicting with the ISP modems IP address of 192.168.0.1. Check to see if this is the same on the ISP modem, and if modem can't be bridged, change the DIR router to 192.168.1.1 or .0.254.Example of a D-Link router configured for PPPoE with ISP Modem bridged: PPPoE Configuration on a Router

This forum is for D-Link products. I'll refer to you Asus or smallnetbuilders forums for additional help and information about your Asus router.

You'll need to refer to your ISP for additional help and information regarding your ISP Modem.

So everything works perfectly now. I was able to bridge the Thomson modem and configured the PPPoE on the Router. Also have been able to configure a VPN on the router which connects to everything in the house. The tips were helpful. Thanks
